This is the third of a series of papers presenting the first attempt to analyze the growth of the bar instability in a consistent cosmological scenario. In the previous two articles we explored the role of the cosmology on stellar disks,…

We present the first attempt to analyse the growth of the bar instability in stellar-gaseous disks evolving in a fully consistent cosmological scenario. We explored the role of the cosmology on pure stellar disks with different mass…

We explore the growth and the evolution of the bar instability in stellar-gaseous disks embedded in a suitable dark matter halo evolving in a fully consistent cosmological framework. The aim of this paper is to point out the impact of…

In this review, I discuss just three aspects of the stability and evolution of galactic discs. (1) I first review our understanding of the bar instability and how it can be controlled. Disc galaxies in which the orbital speed does not…

The nature of vertical heating of disk stars in the inner as well as the outer region of disk galaxies is studied. The galactic bar (which is the strongest non-axisymmetric pattern in the disk) is shown to be a potential source of vertical…

We show by numerical simulations that a purely stellar dynamical model composed of an exponential disc, a cuspy bulge, and an NFW halo with parameters relevant to the Milky Way Galaxy is subject to bar formation. Taking into account the…

We present simulations of bar-unstable stellar discs in which the bars thicken into box/peanut shapes. Detailed analysis of the evolution of each model revealed three different mechanisms for thickening the bars. The first mechanism is the…

We carry out a detailed orbit analysis of gravitational potentials selected at different times from an evolving self-consistent model galaxy consisting of a two-component disk (stars+gas) and a live halo. The results are compared with a…

The well-known bar instability of rotationally-supported disk galaxy models has been studied extensively since its first discovery over half a century ago. We were therefore very surprised to find cases of disks embedded in rigid halos,…

We find that nuclear rings in barred galaxies can be subject to a new type of non-self-gravitational dynamical instability. The instability leads to the formation of gaseous molecular bars with pattern speeds which are substantially slower…

By means of self-consistent numerical simulations we investigated the dynamical impact of classical bulges on the growth of the secondary buckling of a bar. Overall we considered 14 models with different disc and bulge parameters. We…

Using analytic stability criteria, we demonstrate that, due to their low surface mass density and large dark matter content, LSB disks are quite stable against the growth of global nonaxisymmetric modes such as bars. However, depending on…

Stellar bars are elongated structures in disk galaxies that can torque and funnel gas inward, influencing galaxy evolution. While strong bars are known to induce rapid inflow, the impact of weaker bars remains less certain. We collected…

About two-thirds of the galactic disks exhibit a central ellipsoidal stellar component called the bar, with or without a gaseous counterpart. However, there are a few dwarf galaxies with purely gaseous bars: NGC3741, NGC2915 and DDO168.…

The onset of gaseous inflows and central activity in interacting galaxies is driven largely by induced bars in the host galaxies. The stability of galaxies against growing bar modes is a direct function of their structural properties ---…

A fraction of early-type dwarf galaxies in the Virgo cluster have a disk component and even possess disk features such as bar, lens, and spiral arms. In this study, we construct 15 galaxy models that resemble VCC856, considered to be an…

About one third of early-type barred galaxies host small-scale secondary bars. The formation and evolution of such double-barred galaxies remain far from being well understood. In order to understand the formation of such systems, we…

We have done a detailed study on the structural and kinematical properties of lenticular and early- and late-type spiral galaxies with bars, aiming to explore the formation and evolution processes of stellar bars in galaxies, and their…

We show that the exponential growth rate of a bar in a stellar disk is substantially greater when the disk is embedded in a live halo than in a rigid one having the same mass distribution. We also find that the vigor of the instability in…
